The individual seeking employment – who benefits from employment and greater independence,

Employers – who reduce their expenses in the hiring processes and gain loyal, productive staff who take less sick leave and are less likely to injure themselves in the workplace. Employers also enjoy the benefits of increased customer loyalty due to their demonstration of inclusive community values. See more how employers benefit here
